"The main ingredients in the recipes for Swedish hash, a dish known among the peasants of remote northern villages for its
delectability and restorative powers differ widely. The meats, offal, and grain that go into its preparation - an elaborate
process of boiling, pickling, steaming and stewing - can range from the obscure to the dangerous and the results can be alternately
emetic and sublime. The search for the most delicious dish of hash - the ultimate hash - forms the backbone of the blackly
comic, marvelously innovative new novel from one of Sweden's most esteemed and best-selling authors." "In a small town where
an epidemic of tuberculosis rages, two very different men arrive to a scene of suffering accepted by the inhabitants not with
stoicism or as a test of fate, but almost with glee. Robert Maser is a traveling garment salesman whose accent and demeanor
betray the fact that he is actually the fugitive Martin Bormann, the Nazi leader rumored to have slipped past Red Army lines
during the fall of Berlin. He engages the local schoolteacher, Lars, on the bizarre quest to find the world's best hash, and
together they wander the Swedish countryside, inviting themselves into peasant homes to sample a variety of humble family
recipes. As their search becomes more impassioned, it becomes clear that their goal is much more than a culinary marvel, and
that what they've really been seeking is the force of life that must present itself even in the darkest of times." "Their
adventures are narrated in a faux-naif style by a 107-year-old newspaper reporter who was witness to the events as they occurred
in 1947, and has waited for the right time to confront his own relationship to life and death, happiness and suffering, and
the power of art to express life's ambiguities."--Jacket

"The woman had come from a city in the south to lecture in a small village amid the snowbound forests of northern Sweden.
She was a writer. After the lecture in the village hall an old man who had been sleeping at the back introduced himself, as
she was to be his guest for the night. So it was that she moved in with Hadar, a man who lived on his own and was in the last
stages of cancer. Not another house in sight, save for one just a field away; there lived Hadar's brother Olof, also on his
own, and dying of heart disease. Neither brother would consent to die, the woman discovered, for that would give the satisfaction
of outliving him."--Back cover
